This one comes from one of the Elders and his wife at my church:
Last week one of their cats became sick, they took it to the vet, who couldn't find anything wrong. Then late in evening the cat got progressively worse so they found a 24 hour emergency animal hospital in Aurora (good to know for all of us pet owners!). The hospital ran some tests and said the cat would need to stay and have surgery. As they drove home they did what any Christian pet lover would do, they prayed. That next morning they get a call.. the surgery went well, the cat will be fine. Miracle one.
Happy ending huh? Until they get the bill for 4 thousand dollars! Again, they took their request to the Lord. A couple days later the Elder's wife gets a phone call from her brother. Their mother, who had just recently passed away, had some money in her checking account and the brother didn't want the money to disappear, so he offered the money to his sister. It was only 5 thousand dollars! Miracle two.
So what happened here was their faith triumphed over the situation they were in. God gives us peace in every circumstance because we are able to access His grace through our faith.
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand,and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
